Calabrian Bergamot essential oil

Origins and culture

The fruit of the bergamot tree is actually a crisp-smelling hybrid of bitter orange and lime. It was first grown in 1750.

While it is also grown in South Africa and Côte d’Ivoire, this prized perfume ingredient earned its reputation as a premium ingredient in the sunny, rich terroir of the Italian region of Calabria.

For the Compoz collection of natural essences, this exceptional bergamot adds a subtle, tangy freshness to your compositions.

With its fresh and hesperidean notes, Bergamot is a must in the great compositions of perfumery and will marry perfectly with the aromatic notes, Amber 83 or Jasmine Sambac for a fresh floral and elegant accord.

In your olfactory playlists, you will enjoy finding Bergamot to escape around the Mediterranean basin, by integrating it in compositions that evoke the sweetness of a summer near Portofino, between the salty spray of the Mediterranean Sea and the flowers that dress the creeks of the Genoese coast.
